I recently sent the following email to the maintainer of the ffmpeg Slackbuild :
Quote:
When running the script all of the "make" and "make install" steps executed fine, but at line 194 in the script I got an error telling me that the $PKG/usr/man directory did not exist.
I added a mkdir line before this point to create this directory and all seemed to work OK, although I note that nothing seems to have been written to this directory. I suspect therefore that my "fix" is possibly just bypassing a problem rather than fixing it properly.
I have had no reply, but you can see from the above that my "fix" does enable you to build the package.
I have also tried to use this SlackBuild and have encountered the same error. I created the "man" directory and placed an empty file in it. When I tried the SlackBuild again, I got the same error message and the "man" directory with the empty file had been deleted. Any one know what to do?

Same problem here and adding the mkdir to the SlackBuild "fixed" it.
